A Lizzie from this week: “It is a great time to be a Cubs fan.” (Thanks Bones!) I heartily agree, but I know there are many who think this season is horrible for the team and the fans. Where do you stand?

Who says pandering doesn’t pay off. My greatest letdown after reading the Lizzies….I have to wait 14 days for another.

Based on the last two weeks, I am becoming increasingly optimistic that the Cubs are turning this ship around. They have signed their draft picks and are signing just about all of the international talent, meaning that next year they will be trading away their international pool money away for more talent. We just need a bullpen now.

Joe Aiello

You did say “ship” right?

Jerry in Wisconsin

Yes I did, and I am now have a very very vague recollection about a previous discussion on calling this team a ship

This is not a horrible season. For me, it’s filled with promise and hope (queue cheesy music now) and I’ll be focusing on watching these guys right up until the NFL regular season starts. Then in NFL week 3 when the Jets are 0-2, spiralling and a media circus again I’ll return to Cub focus and spring training.

Since Cap’n O made a request and got a Lizzie for it…

On the ledge (to the tune of “Turn the Page”)*

On a long and lonesome highway

East of anywhere

You can listen to the talkshows

Moanin’ out their same ol’ song –

You can think about the error

Or the strikeouts from the night before…

But your thoughts will soon be wandering

The way they always do

When you’re losin’ lots of ballgames

And there’s nothin’ you can do

And you don’t feel much like watchin’,

You just wish the year was through…

Here I am

Cubbie Fan again

There I am

hand in the fridge

Here I go

Missin’ work again

There I go

out on the ledge…

Well you trudge into a sports bar,

Can’t win at home or on the road,

And you feel the eyes upon you

Smirkin’ at the cap,

You pretend it doesn’t bother you

But that’s a load of crap…

Most times you can’t hear ’em talk,

Other times you can

All the same old cliches,

“Is he that stuipid, man?”

And you always seem outnumbered,

You don’t dare make a stand (your only consolation, man, is you’re no White Sox
fan)

Here I am

Cubbie Fan again

There I am

hand in the fridge

Here I go

Missin’ work again

There I go

out on the ledge…

Out there in the bleachers

You’re a million miles away

Every ounce of energy

You try to give away

As the sweat pours out your body

it’s those beers you had today…

Later in the evening

As you lie awake in bed

With the memories of walks and balks

Ringin’ in your head

You play the day’s last bat,

over in your head…

Here we are

pitchers’ count, we see

Here we go

Ain’t it a shame

Here we go

Called strike three…again

There we go

Blame Dale Sveum…

Here we are

thrown out again

Here we go

Ain’t it a shame,

Won’t be long now

Shutout again

There they go

Losing the game…

There they go

There they go…………

*with tremendous apologies to Bob Seger

This is the best thing to happen to me in weeks. Literally. A Lizzie sweep in 2 weeks.
